Edward’s Inspiring Learning Journey
What 101 Blockchains course/certification(s) have you taken?
I have obtained the Certified Blockchain Security Expert (CBSE)™ certification from 101 Blockchains.
Why did you choose this program and how was your overall learning experience with 101 Blockchains?
As someone who regularly researches and works with blockchain smart contracts and advises on risks, I needed the most up-to-date security program available to practitioners. CBSE stood out for its depth on reentrancy, oracle manipulation, access control models and formal verification topics which I would cover in the future. The learning experience was wonderful: clear explanations, real case studies of exploits.
What skills or knowledge did you learn that helped you the most?
Advanced auditing frameworks, chain attack modeling, and Bridge/Oracle security checklists have become central to my workflow. In addition to tracking current regulatory updates according to NIST, CSS and CCSS. I now routinely integrate Slither + other blockchain cybersecurity tools for formal verification into each contract suite to detect edge cases that external auditors may previously miss.
At 101 Blockchains, you don’t just get certifications, you learn real-world skills that make you a confident blockchain professional.
How has this program contributed to your professional development?
CBSE certification gives me credibility when advising DAOs and businesses on treasury security and RWA tokenization security. It directly contributes to following the appropriate procedures for proven safety expertise step by step.
What advice would you give to someone considering a career in blockchain?
Being a translator, it is essential these days to be able to translate the internal requirements of the company’s stakeholders but also to communicate them effectively when they are technical, because security is the foundation of sustainable adoption. Master how protocols can actually break before creating anything of value. One overlooked vulnerability can erase years of progress. It is therefore essential to invest early in defensive thinking.
From learners to leaders, discover the success stories of over 100,000 professionals with 101 Blockchains.
Would you recommend 101 Blockchains to others? For what?
Without hesitation. CBSE is the start of the reference for anyone concerned about smart contract security. It’s practical, continually updated, and taught by people who have discovered real feats in the wild. In an industry where errors cost millions, this certification pays for itself from day one.
